It doesn't here. :(

How do you find that, please?
Here I have the same problem when trying to get --info:
$ get_iplayer -i --url http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11518501

It seems to be treating the URL as a PID. I installed the XML::Simple
perl module the other day, but I'm still somewhat suspicious this is
some kind of dependency thing, or a perl versioning bug.
I'm particularly suspicious of the URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/http://playlists.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11518390A/playlist.sxml.rdf
in the verbose output (see attached).
Could I possibly ask what version of Perl you have installed, please?
Here `perl --version` shows v5.8.8. I'm running on Linux, although I
can see you're obviously on Windows.

I can't see that my options look substantially different from that.
